Matt Hansen

Strategy:
Born and raised in the Wasatch, but found his true calling in the Tetons. Finds religion in deep powder, skiers rejoicing on a summit, ski pole high fives at the bottom, and a cold beer at the bar. Tele skied for the last 15 years, and thinks all of your jokes are really funny. Then, this year, your stupid joke came true. Binding failure, twice in two weeks to start the season. A turn felled, a skier with no identity, a mustache without any curl. Ended up locking it down, his sleepless nights saved by comfy but stiff touring boots. And damn if it's not a helluva lot easier.
